Rotary Electric Machine and Vehicle Provided with the Same

A rotary electric machine comprising:

• a stator core provided with a plurality of slots;
• stator windings of a plurality of phases provided with a plurality of wave-wound winding coils, each having a slot conductor inserted into each slot of the stator core and included in any one of six or more even-numbered layers and a jumper conductor that connects the same side ends of the slot conductors inserted into different slots to form a coil end;
• and
• a rotor rotatably supported to the stator core by interposing a vacancy,
• wherein the jumper conductor connects the slot conductors to each other by striding the slots with a slot pitch of “Np=N+1” in one of the coil ends and striding the slots with a slot pitch of “Np=N−1” in the other coil end, where “N” denotes the number of slots per pole,
• the stator winding has a plurality of slot conductor groups having a plurality of slot conductors of the same phase,
• the plurality of slot conductors of the slot conductor group are inserted into a predetermined number (Ns) of slots continuously arranged in a circumferential direction of the stator core such that the slot and the layer are adjacent to each other, and
• the predetermined number (Ns) is set to “Ns=NSPP+1,” where “NSPP” denotes the number of slots per pole per phase.
